Her kidneys and liver were transplanted, corneas deposited in eye bank
Doctors at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) enabled retrieval and donation of three organs from a 44-year-old woman following brain death at the hospital on Wednesday. The feat became possible after the patient’s family consented to donate her organs.
National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation allocated the organs to three separate recipients — two wait-listed recipients at Fortis Gurugram received the liver and one kidney, and a recipient at private hospital in Delhi received the second kidney.
This courageous move by the donor’s family is a progressive step at a time during the pandemic when the organ donation numbers are plummeting, said the hospital, in a press statement.
